Thanks for all the replies so far. From what I can gather, the Pros are only going to give a slight drop which probably won't be noticeable enough.
Does anyone have before and after shots of each set, a big ask I know but Xmas is coming and I am still owed my b'day present so I need some ideas.:D
It's a well worn question I know but which are the best springs to offer a 30-40 mm drop (I don't want to start popping driveshafts or causing damper leaks), an improvement in handling or at least the same ability as standard yet a good quality ride (as near to standard as possible).
I have read...
I may be wrong but if your track rods are knackered then there are some serious issues. I honestly can't see it being the track rods themselves mate as there isn't really much that can 'go' on them.
If the track rod ends are knackered, the rubber boots which cover the knuckle joint will have...
Mine made 173.5 with a cat back and a panel filter so not a bad jump on 166-169 if the rollers were accurate.
I reckon the 0-60 claims by Renault are a bit conservative but the 182 drivers out there need to remember that a 182 has the same 148 lb/ft of torque as the 172 so they are not going to...
There is no reason why an electronic super/turbocharger shouldn't work if it was done properly ie. boost increasing with revs. This thing however is just a PC cooling fan which I dare say runs at a constant speed at would not provide the gains it claims. There may even come a point where the...

£250 sounds like a bargain if everything is included though I'm not sure what these engines are worth.
I was quoted £300 by a place in Kippax to paint my front and rear bumpers, bonnet and a V6 spoiler for my Iceberg 172. He was recommended to me by my local motor factors, ASK if you know it.
I got Chipsaway out to see what they thought and Nick ,the Chipsaway technician said that it wasn't...
I think that for what it costs to upgrade to Maxogen typer filter (£250), I have fitted an uprated panel filter, uprated air feed, silicone elbow and still have enough money left for BenR's intake mod which liberated 13bhp on another members car.
If the ITG can give you the 15 or so bhp that...
If you're going to change, why not go for a late spec 172 as performance is not far off the 182 and would be much cheaper which would help seeing as you will lose alot on the GTI.
I would personally wait a short while as values will continue to tumble with release of the new Clio and the...
I don't know what the V6 throttle body looks like but I can't imagine it would be compatible.
If you are looking at intake gains, contact BenR about his intake mod. Some good gains have been seen there.
Love it.
But the mk2 ph2 rs2 172 ph2 with a face lift don't have a purple Playmobil dash though which is why I have a mk2 ph2 rs2 172 ph2 with a face lift :rofl:
MK2 172's or phase 2 172's or MK2, phase 2 172's or whatever else people call them ;) also have the acoustic valve.
I can't really see how torque could decrease when replaced by an uprated air feed.
The car does feel faster all the way through the rev range.
A friend of my dads has a standard 172 and was enquiring about my car so I let him go for a drive. We went out together and his eyes lit up when he floored it. He was very impressed by the mid range punch the car had and the way the...
You could give this a go mate. I reckon these +10bhp claims are rubbish as I ran a number of maps before this one and the maximium gain we managed was only 179, 7 bhp over standard but this had less torque than the map I am running now.

This is my Mocal silicone elbow:

Less than £20 delivered. It did have equal length legs with a 70mm bore.
